Next Level Entertainment totally blew our expectations and made our dream wedding a reality!! Joe Cortez is super patient and really easy to work with. The thing we loved was how honest he is with our ideas. We had a vision on how we wanted to entertain our guest and he delivered. Also, his suggestions were awesome too!! They really took our wedding day to the Next Level!!

Joe and his team are the best on Maui! My husband and I are locals who moved away to start our careers and came back home to Maui to celebrate with our loved ones. Planning a wedding from a far can be difficult but Joe made it as smooth as possible! He took into consideration our music taste and also added his own mix depending on who was dancing on the dance floor. I would recommend Next Level Entertainment to anyone planning an event, especially a wedding, in Maui!

Our DJ was absolutely incredible! He had everyone dancing all night and played the perfect mix of music. The energy was amazing, and we had SO much fun celebrating with all our favorite people. A packed dance floor was exactly what we wanted for our wedding, and he delivered! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and would highly recommend him! Our guests are still raving about him the days after our wedding

We chose to hire the best of the bests for our wedding day. Joe and his team did an amazing job entertaining our guests from beginning to end. Entertainment for our wedding was one of the last things we planned. We were a little apprehensive because we had no special dance routines or performances happening. Joe did not hesitate to make our wedding night just as magical. He offered great suggestions and even got our guests to sing along to our opening song as we were introduced as the newlyweds at our reception. We were also running a little behind schedule but Joe was able to run through our timeline smoothly that none of our guests noticed. It was the perfect night. Our guests laughed, cried, danced and could not stop talking about how much fun they had at our wedding for a week! The music was also on point. One of our favorite memories of the night was having all our family and friends on the dance floor having the best time. If only we could relive our wedding day again - we would! Thank you Joe and Nextlevel Entertainment for helping us celebrate our best day ever!

If you are planning a wedding on Maui, do yourself a massive favor and book Joe Cortez with Next Level Entertainment. Hands down, he is the absolute best DJ on the island!

We gave Joe a list of our favorite genres and a general vibe, and he completely over-delivered. The transition to my wife’s solo moments was flawless and handled with perfection. Joe kept the energy high all night long and had literally everyone out on the dance floor.

Beyond his incredible skills as a DJ and entertainer, Joe is just a genuinely fantastic and kind person to work with. He truly cared about making our night special and stress-free.

Joe was recommended by anyone we talk to in Maui that was involved in planning our wedding.

He carefully met with us two or three times to make sure he got everything correct.
He kept the times we needed to hit for first dance, cake cutting etc
He has a great thing he did at the end of the night. He had everyone surround us, he lowered the lights and have everyone use their phones as flashlights beamed on us as we danced a very special song.

Joe contributed heavily into an amazing day.

From the very first conversation, Joe made us feel heard. He didn’t just nod along—he got our musical taste. I knew he was our DJ when he immediately recognized the YouTube artists I love—Albert Posis, Jeremy Passion, Jesse Barrera, AJ Rafael—and worked them into the plan with total respect for the vibe we wanted.

Day-of, Joe went above and beyond. He was incredibly flexible and helped us pull off a last-minute idea to have all our guests stand and create a pathway for our grand entrance—no stress, just smooth execution. He even worked in an original medley that one of my bridesmaids produced for their walk down the aisle; the timing and cueing were flawless.

Once the party started, the energy never dipped. Joe’s transitions were silky—no jarring cuts, just seamless flow—and he constantly read the room to see what everyone was vibing to. The dance floor stayed packed because he knew exactly when to lean into a groove and when to surprise us with the next perfect track. As an MC, he was professional, clear, and fun, keeping the timeline tight without ever feeling rushed.

Our guests are still talking about how hype and us the music felt. If you want a DJ/MC who truly listens, curates with intention, and delivers a high-energy, unforgettable party, book Joe Cortez with NextLevel Entertainment. Easily a 1000000/10.

We cannot thank joe and Jay enough for making our wedding a dream come true and a memory we will cherish forever. From the very beginning, when they asked us what one word we wanted our guests to use to describe our wedding, we said “amazing.” They both mastered that vision perfectly.
Every single guest told us how amazing, beautiful, and unforgettable our wedding was—some even said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. Thank you for creating so many special moments that we’ll treasure for a lifetime.
You both are truly incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to bring our vision to life.
